Chapter 1688 My lack of response has nothing to do with you
A reporter from the Memphis Times asked Wang Yi about Beth:
"Wang, I think you should have seen Beth Rogers' request for help on the Internet. Why didn't you respond to him? We believe that as a star, especially a superstar, it is your duty to do this. After all, we are human beings and have human nature.
And doing this is a reflection of your humanity.”
To Wang Yi, these words sounded like scolding him.
It means: if you don't do it, you are not a human being.
Wang Yi looked at the reporter coldly: "Are you trying to stir up trouble? Whether I respond or not is none of your business."
The reporter saw that Wang Yi was about to get angry.
But instead of being afraid, he continued to provoke:
"This is not a moral kidnapping, but a voice for the weak. Even if I offend you, I still have to say: You should respond to him. Human beings still need to have a little compassion."
When Wang Yi heard this, he looked at the reporter:
"There are a lot of ill-intentioned reporters here who just want to see this matter become a big deal. I am here to give you a unified response. I don't need anyone to point out what I do. Whether I respond or not has nothing to do with you.
"
"Many of you reporters just watch the excitement all day long and don't think it's a big deal. The bigger the trouble is, the happier you will be. This has completely lost your professional ethics and the most basic morals and bottom line of being a human being. Even if I didn't respond to that
Children, they are ten thousand times better than you guys who just watch the fun and don't take it too seriously."
The scene fell silent.
After Wang Yi finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked away.
When the Kings' public relations staff saw this, they frowned tightly.
She can already imagine how the media will slander Wang Yi after today's press conference.
All NBA players know to have a good relationship with these media reporters.
The first lesson for rookies when they come to the NBA is specialized interview training.
Teach them what to say and what not to say, and teach them to have a good relationship with reporters.
Because if you don't have a good relationship with them, their reports will be detrimental to you.
In serious cases, they may even directly discredit you.
But Wang Yi doesn’t care about this.
You can say whatever you like, but if I frown, I'm not a man.
Sure enough, on the second day, many media reporters began to publish various reports.
Memphis Times: “Wang Yi still hasn’t responded to that poor kid”
Charlotte Post: "On the Humanity and Character of Stars"
This article specifically uses Wang Yi as an example to analyze the humanity and character of football stars. It is mentioned many times that Wang Yi did not respond to the sick child, which completely lost his humanity.
As for the biggest Yihei Bayless and the other Yihei Nicholas Zhao Sier, they also analyzed the matter in their TV programs respectively.
In the end, Bayless commented: "A star is a human being first. Since there are people, he has humanity. If a player loses his humanity, he no longer deserves to be called a star, or even a human being."
Nicholas Zhao Si'er said in his program:
"Those idiot fans, open your eyes and take a look. This is the star you like. When sick children need help, he doesn't respond at all. When he is criticized by reporters, he blames reporters for their professional ethics.
"Is such a person still worthy of your fandom?"
"People like this should be kicked out of the NBA."
Because these reporters set the pace, many people who did not know the truth began to express their disappointment with Wang Yi.
"Brother Yi is actually such a person. Alas, I quit the group. Forget it, I will never like football stars again."
"I like Brother Yi very much, but he is really disappointing in this matter. I can only say that I am sorry."
"I'm a fan of the wrong person, and Bes is a fan of the wrong person. I feel sorry for Bess."
It can be said that the smear campaign against Wang Yi by those reporters, especially the biggest ones, Yi Hei Bayless and Nicholas Zhaosi, has indeed affected Wang Yi's commercial value.
This makes all those brands panic.
Various brands endorsed by Wang Yi immediately held emergency meetings.
In the end, most brands decided to contact Wang Yi immediately to verify the matter.
Among them, Gillette, a razor brand endorsed by Wang Yi, directly announced its unilateral termination of its contract with Wang Yi because it was afraid of getting angry.
Their statement is as follows: "In view of Wang Yi's indifference to sick children in this incident, we announce the unilateral termination of our contract with Wang Yi. Our brand will not let an indifferent and impersonal star
Endorsement. Even if we have to pay 15 million yuan in liquidated damages."
The language of their statement has obviously been carefully considered.
It not only draws a clear line with Wang Yi, but also shows their product positioning.
In the end, they won people's sympathy: they paid a price of 15 million to draw a clear line with Wang Yi.
This allows them to gain the favor of many people quickly.
At the same time, a small group of black people in China began to set the pace.
"What Brother Yi did is really disappointing."
"Brother Yi, why are you doing this? It won't take long to just respond to that kid. It's better now. You're just getting yourself into trouble."
At this time, Wang Yi was heading to the airport, preparing to go to the next away game, the Charlotte Hornets.
On the bus, my agent Luo Lin called me.
"Wang, do we want to announce the truth now?"
Wang Yi shook his head: "I said it would be best for the child's family to come forward to clarify."
"But if this continues, I'm afraid the trouble will get bigger and bigger."
“Wouldn’t the bigger the fuss become, the more publicity it will achieve?”
"But I'm afraid that the fuss will be too big, in case something unexpected happens."
"Don't worry, Sister Luo, the child should still be in a coma now, and his parents should still be taking care of him. They will definitely clarify it when they see it, and it won't take long."
Rowling was silent for a moment and responded:
"Okay, I'll just listen to you. I hope nothing happens."
Finally, Rowling paused and then said:
"Well, Wang, I want to apologize to you for unilaterally terminating the contract with the Gillette brand. I should have been more rigorous in my previous inspections."
Wang Yi smiled and shook his head:
"They are giving me money, what do you have to apologize for? Also, they are not unilaterally terminating the contract, but breaching the contract. In addition, their remarks will obviously mislead the audience, so I plan to
If I sue them, they will not only pay liquidated damages, but also compensate me for mental and financial losses."
Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
She didn't expect that Wang Yi had already thought of this.
